STRANGE STORY

Having no particular pet theory
to ventilate, l am not about to
write an essay on dreams. My pur-
pose is TO relate-we!I, if you wish
we shall call it story, which has
at least the merit of truth if it may
not possess the interest OF fiction.
1 had fairly entered on my career
as a lawyer, and my health never
the most robust, of late had been
causing me considerable annoy

to agree with Shakcspoare'S apoth
ecary and throw physlc to
the dogs but IN the end | was
obliged to apply to physician for
advice. 1t was nervous prostra-
ton, he assured me, brought on by
excessive study, and I must forth
with close my books and get away
to the country. You will find the
very tonic you require in the salt
sea breezes at some pleasant va
terlng place. he SAID TO me. Oh
reaching my lonely room that ev.
ening l hunted up Il letter received
from an old college chnm some ten
days before, and this is what |
read:
DEAR CRAwFoRD:-I've heard
with considerable concern that
YOUR health has been failing you
lately, and that too close applica'
ton to your books is the CAUSE
Surely this is an eminently proper
time to fulfill a promise so often
made to spend a few days with me;
The invigoratlng sea breeze Will
build YOU up in no time. Come
away then, from that wilderness of
bricks and mortar they call New
York, and learn what happiness
can be found in a healthy country
life. shall not take nay for an an
swer, so don't compel me to run up
to town and carry you away bon

the Post Iateli,gencer or any one else
can produce evidence duplicating an of
ficer of this company in this interest as
a party to the scheme for removing the
capital from Olympia to North Yakima,
or to any other point, such officer will
be Immediately disciplined. To show
the fallacy Of such charge, will state
that when the legislature was in session
two years ago. friends Of the movement
asked me, as representative of the North
ern Pacific Ralkon Company, to sign o
petition addressed to the members Ut the
legislature, praying For removal of tn,
capital | stated to the gentlemen thai
the Northern Pacific had nothing what
ever to do with the location of the CAPT
tai; that it had no interest 10 the ques-
ton and did not care where the capita
; might be located and therefore I de-
cined to have anything to do with it
If the people, through their representa-
tives in the legislature, desire to chang,
the location of the capital to any othe
point in the territory the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company cannot attemp
to interfere with the project in any man
ner. The Northern Pacific railroad rec
osnizcs the members of the legisla
4 turc as representatives of the interests o
the territory at large, and it the repre-
seatatives, in their Judgment, deem i
best to move the capital it is matte
to be settled between the representative
and their constituents. If the peopl
of Washington Territory are Statistic,
and wish their representatives, to NOV
the capital, certainly the Northern Pa
eidc has no objection. On the othe
hand, if they decide the capital shall
remain where it Is, the Northern Pacif
, will be equally satisfied. From the posi-
tive manner in which the Post Intetii-
gencer makes the charge, one would in
fer that that paper had proof that tn
officers of the company were using ,hei
